https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2008/01/opening-statement-54/
The Canadian economy continues to operate above its production capacity, despite some slowing in growth and inflation in the fourth quarter of 2007. Financial conditions have deteriorated since October, leading to tighter credit conditions in industrialized countries.2008-01-24T11:12:37+00:00Release of the Monetary Policy Report Update2008-01-24David DodgeReflections on Developments in the Canadian Financial System

It has become a tradition that I deliver a speech late in the year on issues related to the financial system. When I say "financial system," I mean financial institutions and markets, together with the clearing and settlement systems through which financial assets flow.2007-12-10T12:14:31+00:00Reflections on Developments in the Canadian Financial System2007-12-10David DodgeOpening Statement before the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce

In Canada, we were looking for weaker economic growth in the fourth quarter of this year and the first half of 2008, but some strengthening thereafter. As you can see from Table 2, we were expecting continued strong final domestic demand throughout the projection period, but considerably weaker net exports.2007-12-06T11:50:03+00:00Opening Statement before the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce2007-12-06David DodgeCredit Market Turbulence and Policy Challenges Ahead

Given the Institute's membership and its focus on financial stability, I feel safe in saying that all of us here today watched this summer's turbulence in credit markets with interest, to put it mildly. What began in the spring as a repricing of credit risk turned into dislocations that have yet to fully run their course.2007-10-21T14:31:56+00:00Credit Market Turbulence and Policy Challenges Ahead2007-10-21David DodgeRelease of the Monetary Policy Report

Since the July Monetary Policy Report Update, and against a backdrop of robust global economic expansion and strong commodity prices, the Canadian economy has been stronger than projected. It is now operating further above its production potential than had been previously expected.2007-10-18T14:08:00+00:00Release of the Monetary Policy Report2007-10-18David DodgeTurbulence in Credit Markets: Causes, Effects, and Lessons To Be Learned

The turbulence in financial markets did not come about against a backdrop of economic weakness. Indeed, over the past number of years, the global economy has shown remarkable strength. We were also seeing encouraging signs of growth being spread more evenly.2007-09-25T09:31:29+00:00Turbulence in Credit Markets: Causes, Effects, and Lessons To Be Learned2007-09-25David DodgeA Clear Case for Transparency
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2007/09/clear-case-for-transparency/
We have seen a remarkable continuation of robust global growth, fuelled by increases in international trade and facilitated by the continuing evolution and expansion of capital markets. Domestic demand began to grow more strongly in Europe and Asia and to slow in the United States, and this began to ease some of the concerns related to global imbalances that I spoke about during my last visit.2007-09-12T08:59:19+00:00A Clear Case for Transparency2007-09-12David DodgeRelease of the Monetary Policy Report Update

Economic growth and inflation in Canada in the first half of this year have been stronger than was expected in the April Monetary Policy Report. The Bank judges that the economy is now operating further above its production potential than was projected in April.2007-07-12T14:51:33+00:00Release of the Monetary Policy Report Update2007-07-12David DodgeDemographics, Labour Input, and Economic Potential: Implications for Monetary Policy

Over the years, we at the Bank of Canada have learned that the best contribution that monetary policy can make to the economic welfare of Canadians is to keep inflation low, stable, and predictable. We try to keep the annual increase in consumer price inflation at 2 per cent, which is the middle of a 1 to 3 per cent inflation-control range.2007-06-13T12:42:30+00:00Demographics, Labour Input, and Economic Potential: Implications for Monetary Policy2007-06-13David DodgeMaking Global Economic Institutions Work – What the World Needs Now

For 85 years, the Council has promoted the idea that the United States should take a leading role in addressing global challenges. And it has done so consistently through the years, even during times when isolationism was more fashionable.2007-05-21T16:35:45+00:00Making Global Economic Institutions Work – What the World Needs Now2007-05-21David Dodge
